Dr. Doyle is currently funded through the NCRC’s Paediatric Research Project Grant scheme for two projects. Both projects involve research into interferon and cytokine responses in infants and children. One project aims to improve vaccine responses in the paediatric population by promoting an optimal cytokine/interferon cocktail that boosts infants’ immune responses. The other project is a collaboration with Professor Alan Irvine and aims to understand the role of IL-1 family cytokines, such as IL-18, in Regulating Skin Barrier Function in Childhood Atopic Dermatitis. She is also a co-PI with Dr. Colin McMahon on an NCRC Innovation award for research in coronary artery aneurysm formation in children with Kawasaki Disease. Dr Doyle and Dr. Kiva Brennan, a senior postdoctoral researcher in the Doyle lab, will be presenting NCRC and SFI funded research at the ICIS conference this October.
